The results section is the core of the paper, if there were no results in the paper then the paper would be pointless and know one would read it. There is one part of the paper that is considered the core of the paper, and that is the results section. The introduction should be only a brief overview of what the paper is, the writer should not go to much into detail about the paper, since the introduction is only…
I believe that the IMRAD format is a great thing for science especially in today’s world. IF there were no such thing as an IMRAD statement then papers written by scientists would be alot harder to read. SiInce there is a system that almost every scientist follows,. iIt allows for scientists to be able to skim quickly through papers so that they can gain as much information as possible in as little time. When readers are able to go to…
I believe that I am working well with Gee concepts in the way that I am able to take quotes from Gee’s writing and integrate it into my writing, so that they are able to back up the information that I am talking about. For example, I was able to use this quote “What we say, do, and are in using language enacts practices. At the same time, what we say, do, and are would have no meaning unless these practices already…
Significance “A recent trend is to give only the main aspects of the paper and post all additional or “less important” aspects as “supplemental materials” on the journal’s website (Nair and Nair 14). In this passage it is showing how the significant the main points of a paper is and how they take everything that is not that important and leave it out or put it aside. So it is not the main thing that you are looking out when…
Homework For October 9 When I was looking through the words of Gee and Cuddy, I looked at how they showed the meaning of Discourse and how they talked about different discourse, the way they both talk about scientific discourse was very different. Gee talks about all these tasks. A quote that he uses is “What we say, do, and are in using language enacts practices. At the same time, what we say, do, and are would have no…
In my first box talking about what I agree with Gee, I talked about how I agree that social languages are embedded into your discourses. The reason that I agreed with him on this idea is because everyone could have the exact same discourse but know of them would be the same because everyone would have there own twist on that discourse and a big part of that twist is their social language. When Gee talks about how you cannot…
Some of the concerns that I had with my paper was that the paper was not detailed enough. There were not any quotes in the paper so it came off sounding like I stole it from Gees study. I learned a lot from my peers reviews. We talked about how to rearrange my paper so it sounds more like my words and also where certain. I connect best with Cuddy and the reason for this is because I connect with…
The element of resistance is talking about when you are unable to do something because there is something stopping you. For example, if you are playing football and you are trying to score there is going to be resistance from the opposing team. You are not going to be able to just walk down the field. That is the same way in this case when Gee is talking about it. When Gee is talking about metaknowledge he is talking about…
In Gee’s first theorem he talks about how if a person has a certain discourse they don’t have to be good at that discourse they just have to know how to do it. You either no how to do it or you don’t. He says that their really is no in between. He compares it to a person speaking a different language. A person can still speak and language just not as good as other people. But a person can…
